Childhood and youth
The biography of the future actor began on January 1, 1992 in Volgograd. A family of ordinary workers lived on the outskirts of a city on the Volga, and the boy’s childhood was associated with street punks. As Nikita admitted in an interview, the street played a significant role in his upbringing. But the boy was saved from the fate of a hooligan by his parents, who at the age of 12 sent their son to the boxing section.
By the way, parents have always been and still remain the best friends and support of the actor. In an interview, Nikita talks about them with warmth and notes that the main thing in a family is love and understanding. The young man also recalls the story that at the age of 12, as a teenager, he wanted to get a tattoo, and his mother understood this desire and did not forbid it. The artist receives such unconditional support from loved ones in all his endeavors.

Nikita Pavlenko in the TV series “Master”
Amateur boxing progressed to a serious level, but unexpectedly he had to say goodbye to the sport due to an injury. Pavlenko shares that the dislocation of his right shoulder he received then still periodically bothers him.
After his sports career did not work out, the young man began attending a theater studio in Volgograd and showed promise in acting. The young man finished his eleventh grade graduation as an external student. After school, he moved to the capital and randomly applied to all theater universities in Moscow. On his first attempt in 2009, Nikita managed to enter the Moscow Art Theater School.
True, the student studied at the Moscow Art Theater for only a year. In 2010, he transferred to the Moscow State Institute of Art and Culture and received a diploma in 2014. The TV star has repeatedly said in interviews that old friends from the street supported the young man’s desire to become an actor. The young man himself is not surprised by this approval and explains that in the criminal environment three professions are respected: lawyer, doctor and artist. A lawyer saves you from prison, a doctor heals your body, and an artist treats your soul.
Igor Ogurtsov
The hero of the series, Zhuk, is not very different from his real role. 26-year-old Igor Ogurtsov continues to give the impression of an extremely serious young man. Many viewers believed in the real closeness of Zhuk and his serial girlfriend Ira, but as the artists themselves note, nothing but friendly relations binds them.

Nikita played one of the main roles - the scumbag Tsypa. He admitted that, although he himself grew up in a criminal environment of the streets, the character was not like him. Initially, Pavlenko auditioned for other characters in the series, but the director saw Tsypa in him. As it turned out, the choice was made correctly, and the audience immediately appreciated the young actor’s performance. The project turned out to be so successful that the 2nd season was released in 2017.
After the success of the series, the artist’s career took off rapidly. Filming followed for the comedy “Friday,” the tragicomedy “Drunk Company,” and the sports melodrama “Elastico,” where Nikita worked on the same set with recognized stars of modern Russian cinema. The roles remained minor, but the audience recognized the favorite.
The next notable project was the series “Outside the Game” (2018), in which, in addition to Pavlenko, the main characters were played by Rostislav Berschauer, Anna Taratorkina, Vasilina Yuskovets. Lokomotiv football players Dmitry Tarasov, Guilherme Marinato, Dmitry Barinov and others appeared on the screen in cameo roles. The children's football players were portrayed by current youth league players.
The plot was based on the real experience of the main screenwriter of the project, Ruslan Khachmamuk, who worked as a scout for CSKA for several years and was looking for talented players. The success of the series prompted the producers to release the 2nd season, which was released in 2019.
